Astrality is a Mk1 Westerley Conway built originally as a Blue Water Charter boat and operated out of Poole.
She is a 36ft centre Cockpit (CC) Ketch rigged fin keel sailing yacht with a gross tonnage of 13-64/100 and was originally placed on the British Ships register at that time. she still has her original 42HP Daimler Benz power drive which gives her a motoring speed in excess of 7Knots. Under sail she is a very capable boat and just loves the heavier winds. In the right conditions she will show modern boats a good run for the money and has been known to leave much lighter boats behind.
Astrality has done a number of Trans Atlantic crossings in her time though now we are happy to just enjoy the UK waters.
In the beginning of 2019 over £10K was invested into her with a new electronics set up bringing her bang up to date with the latest in navigation equipment.as well as an improved entertainment system and some smart technology added too. she has her own WiFi system onboard using 4G technology allowing smart TV as well as controlled by Amazons Alexa. as a former member of the RAF and RAFSA member Astrality sails under the RAFSA Ensign which was gifted from the RAF Coastal command which operated the rescue launches.
Astrality has onboard the following.
